I find it convenient sometimes to convert a Maybe value to an Either
maybeToEither = flip maybe Right . Left
Remember, some people don't like flip! :p maybeToEither = (`maybe` Right) . Left
While useful, I think its ubiquity to simplicity ratio is not high enough to justify either depending on MissingH just for that, or adding it to a base library.
Just like the swap :: (a,b) -> (b,a) function a lot of people were discussing on libraries@? In general, I agree.
However, if your personal style makes this so ubiquitous as to override its simplicity, go ahead and upload it to Hackage, perhaps others will also benefit.
Just give it a good name, rather than "fooToolkit", "barToolkit", etc. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
